I've Started Working In Exult Port :)

[Puck2099]

Hi,

I only want to make you know thatI've started today to work in Exult port

As I have not a GP2X to execute code, I have started to compile it for i386 Linux.

Now that I have it working in i386 Linux, my next step is to clean useless features (resolutions greater than 320x240, mouse support...) and adapt the controls and GUI to GP2X ones

I will continue inform you about my progress :lol:

I will not rest until have my favourite game ever (Ultima VII The Black Gate) working in GP2X

Regards

Lavu ~~

Lavu ~~

​

Sorry, what does 'Lavu' mean? :unsure:

I'm Spanish, but I haven't seen that word

 

[Yuglooc]

Love It's acually how it sound when japanese try to pronounce Love. Even though they try to pronounce LaFu

Anyways It's a possitive thing

 

[Eolair]

Actually they have trouble with V & B so it's Lobu

 

[TandeM]

"I ラブ Exult!!" ^_^ (that's ra-bu)

 

[OrR]

Wouldn't that be "rabu"?

 

[Sonic-NKT]

I tried to port it to GP32, but it was almost impossible due to the little amount of RAM

 

[Eolair]

​

Yeah, you're right. They don't hear any difference between L & R either.

It's quite hilarious hearing a japanese sing "Rub me tender, rub me do" :lol:
A popular karaoke choice in Japan


Edit: looking forward to Ultima VII btw!

After watching countless anime I say that they pronounce it "lavu".

Although for some reason they got their alphabet translated with R instead of L they pronounce them both as L. Since japanese is built on sounds that are combinations of 2 letters they usually add a woval to the end of english words lacking a woval at the end. Fight becomes Fighto etc. Ussualy pronounced: FIGHT-OH!

 

[Eolair]

You can say that their L/R is a special sound. Something between an english L and an R. Try it for yourself. Try to pronounce L more like R or vice versa and you'll get pretty close.

For some japanese it's more like an english R and for some more like an L. They can't distinguish the difference.

​

people are forgetting the fact that Romanji IS NOT a phonetic notation. Tsu is sound for instance which doesn't occur except in words and names imported from Asia. Then there's 'Suk' (as in the names Asuka and Kyosuke) where the U is almost (but not quite) silent. These are subtle examples but R and L's are the strongest example where you pronounce them the opposite to how they're written in Romanji.

Or someone saying 'their meal was rubbery' instead of lovely :blink:

​

Their sounds or syllables aren't just combinations of two letters. They have the vowel syllables "a" ,"i", "u", "e", "o" and then another 80 or so "consonant+vowel" syllables and "consonant+ ya, yu, yo" syllables and then the single consonant "n" which is the only independant consonant. So any foreign words ending with a consonant other than "n" gets "u" added at the end or they change the word slightly so it doesn't end with a consonant. Like Love letter = "rubu reta"

Edit: getting awfully off topic here, sorry about that

The little I know of jspanese proves it to be a hilarous language, especially when trying to probounce english words, My favorite part is when you go to japanese sites and you see the word "Garrely" used instead of "Gallery".

Also Hullay for Exult!

 

[OrR]

Ah, the fascination of the Japanese language! B)

I had a look at exhalt. Ultima 7 was one of my faviuot games. I'm not sure how I'm going to extract is from the 3.5" and 2.25" disc that it came in.

Are you interested in pentagram as well? (The Ultima 8 SDL port)

​

I have Ultima 7 The Black Gate on CD (EA's Compilation), but as you have a legal copy, I suppose you can download it from any 'abandonware' site without any legal problem

Respect to Pentagram, I want to finish some of my projects before start new ones, but I don't discard it for a future

Yeah, you are correct. I forgot to mention the vowels and I didn't remember the english word for consonant so I had enough trouble trying to make my post understandable. Also I forgot about the N, actually I had typed it in and deleted it and forgot to add it again.

I'm from Sweden and I'm talking about japanese lagnuage in english... :rolleyes:
